Results Commentary

James Heppelmann, president and chief executive officer, commented, “PTC’s revenue and non-GAAP EPS were above the high end of our guidance range, while license revenue was near the high end of the range with no mega deals (transactions resulting in recognized license revenue of over $5 million in the quarter). We believe our strong EPS performance, in particular, reflects our continued efforts to drive margin expansion and earnings growth. License revenue of $79 million was flat year over year and on a constant currency basis compared to a strong performance in Q1’13, which was the fiscal year end for Servigistics, and a period in which we recognized significant revenue from a mega deal in the Americas. On a constant currency basis we saw 8% year-over-year revenue growth in Japan, 4% year-over-year revenue growth in the Americas, 2% year-over-year revenue growth in Europe, and a 12% year-over-year revenue decline in the Pacific Rim. Reported revenue in Japan and the Pacific Rim was down 13% and 12%, respectively, and in the Americas and Europe was up 4% and 6%, respectively.“

Heppelmann added, “CAD license revenue grew 15% year over year on a constant currency and reported basis while total CAD revenue was up 4% on a constant currency basis and 3% on a reported basis. Our extended PLM business was up 1% year over year on a constant currency and reported basis compared to very strong performance in Q1’13, which included a mega deal. Our SLM business saw a 4% constant currency and reported revenue decline versus the year-ago period. Keep in mind that the Servigistics fiscal year ended in Q1’13; going forward, we expect seasonality in our SLM business to more closely resemble the rest of our business, and we continue to anticipate achieving strong SLM revenue growth in FY’14. We had 34 large deals (recognized license + services revenue of more than $1 million) in Q1’14, up from 27 in Q1’13. Similar to Q1’13, the mix of large deal revenue was skewed somewhat more heavily toward services. During the quarter we recognized revenue from leading organizations such as ABB Ltd, Air China, Airbus Helicopters, Brother Industries, DCNS, Embraer, HKMC, Liebherr, NVIDIA, Petrobras, Renault, and Volkswagen.”
